The New York University - Volatility and Risk Institute, Leibniz Institute for Financial Research SAFE, the Imperial College - Brevan Howard Centre for Financial Analysis, London Business School - AQR Asset Management Institute, the Bank of Canada, the Deutsche Bundesbank, and the European Central Bank organize and codially invite you to attend the
8th International Conference on Sovereign Bond Markets: Capital Markets in Pandemic Times,
hosted by the Bank of England, London, to be held in person (with a remote option) on 7-8 April 2022
Registration (organized by the Bank of England)
The coronavirus pandemic presented numerous unprecedented challenges to central banks in both industrialized countries and emerging markets. The sudden global recession, the often-interrupted recovery, the displacement of labor, capital, and financial resources all required policy makers to adopt new strategies, often untested, in order to provide liquidity to the markets, reduce the cost of capital, and ultimately foster rapid economic growth - all the while the pandemic continued to destabilize the pre-existing economic and geopolitical order. These actions raise numerous questions about their rationale and effectiveness as well as about their potential distortions on both Wall Street and Main Street - from inflationary pressures to a liquidity glut to excessive risk-taking to volatility and financial instability.
The conference is currently planned to be held in hybrid format: in person for speakers, discussants and organizers; other attendans could join the conference remotely.
